Harrison pulled out of his planned title defence at the weekend

Maloney set up a counselling retreat in England for the fighter's depression and alcohol problems but Harrison has fled back to Glasgow.

"I think I got too involved," Maloney told BBC Sport.

"I have other fighters that I have been neglecting and my involvement with Scott will now be with boxing only."

Last week, Harrison checked into Glasgow's Priory clinic for treatment for depression and alcohol problems.

Maloney then moved the boxer to a location in the south of England and went public with predictions of a successful recovery.

However, Harrison was soon back in Scotland and Maloney does not know his whereabouts.

"I have been informed that he has left the centre," added Maloney.

"His father (Peter Harrison) says he is now in a safe place in Glasgow. I just hope they realise the seriousness of the situation.

"I have spent the last 10 days completely involved in Scott Harrison's business and his problems.

"He doesn't seem to want to listen to anybody or take any advice.

"I'm worried about his life because he obviously has a serious problem now.

"I have now decided to take a backward step and let his family deal with it. They feel there is a different solution."

The 28-year-old boxer has had a turbulent few months and pulled out of his planned defence against against Gairy St Clair in Belfast on Saturday.

Harrison saw off his last challenger, Nedal Hussein, in November and his title is likely to be up for grabs if he does not get back in the ring before early August.

Harrison, from Cambuslang, near Glasgow, was recently arrested following an alleged incident in a nightclub in Balloch, Dunbartonshire.

In April, he was bailed on a charge of breach of the peace, refusing to leave a licensed premises, resisting arrest and police assault. Trial was fixed for September.
